Adding a 12v outlet

[okmunky]

I plan to add a 12 volt outlet in the bathroom for charging my cell phone and ipad. Monkeys LOVE to play with electronics and the bathroom is the only real safe place. I am thinking I can piggyback on the lightswitch line and avoid having to run wire to the panel. Is this going to work?

Sure will, just make sure you use the non-switched 12V lead.

Exactly! I added two map reading lights to the cab of our MR, one on the drivers side I just found a spare fuse and hooked to it. On the passenger side I hooked into the lighted door handle which is on the same circuit as the porch light. The map light goes off when I turn on the outside light so I must have tied into the wrong wire!!

Thanks guys! The members of this list help me not make dumb mistakes. Too bad y'all weren't around 37 years ago when I married that cheating #£€?+%.

I have found the socket sold by Pep Boys to work very well.

a friend of ours says the same thing about a guy she married. "why didnt you guys tell me you didnt like or trust him?" not that she would have listened to us at the time...

Same thing happened to me with a girl I was married to for a cheatin' year.

For as little current that the chargers will draw you will be fine.
